Human Trafficking Short Essay

Human Trafficking the two part mini series that aired Monday on Lifetime Network caught my interest and made me research it further. The mini series Human Trafficking follows the story of four woman and girls as they are taken into the vicious world of human slavery. Human slavery is to this day is still a very real problem in the world. As I researched my topic I found that Human Trafficking is a trade that includes not only sex, but pedophilia, human slavery and even organ harvesting. The slave trade is popular in south eastern Asia, in countries like Thailand, where the people are poor and have no other choice but to sell themselves as if they were products on a shelf. The sex trade is an ancient trade that goes back hundreds of years. When a young Thai prostitute was interviewed by world net daily she said "I am but one brick in that long, unbroken wall of female exploitation and misery." Rio de Janeiro is also a popular location to collect children for this trade. Rio has the largest population of unclaimed children in the world. This is due to the sugar plantation back in the 1500's The coast of Brazil flourished with plantation but due to climate changes, and drought the plantations shut down after a certain amount of time. So the families moved to the city, and sent the children away as they could not feed their families due to lack of jobs. The government in Brazil actually pays people to go out and kill these children due to overpopulation, poverty, and crime. Small battles are being waged against this Trade Ring. The US has denied aid to five countries; Burma, Cambodia, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. As these countries are not up to minimum standards of Anti-Trafficking Act, and have done nothing to help the prevention of human trafficking. There are also organizations helping woman and children free themselves of their pimps and gangs. Some slaves can be traded up to 7 to 10 times to other pimps or gangs. Among them is the very charitable Amnesty...

The government increased anti-trafficking prevention activities during the reporting period. Government officials condemned humantrafficking in public statements and presentations, in addition to warning more than 250 students about the dangers of humantrafficking. Anti-trafficking flyers and materials were disseminated widely. The government also tightened issuance of exotic dancer permits to Jamaican hotel establishments, and eliminated their use in night clubs. Efforts to identify victims of trafficking among holders of these permits were intensified during the reporting period, and the government reduced the total number of permits to eight. Increased government collaboration with Jamaica’s hotel and tourism industry would assist efforts to prevent child sex tourism in resort areas; despite reported sexual exploitation of Jamaican children by foreign tourists, no investigations or prosecutions of such suspected criminal activity were reported by the government. The government made efforts to address demand for commercial sex acts by conducting high-profile raids on hotels and nightclubs.

Debbie went outside to meet Bianca, who drove up in a Cadillac with two older men, Mark and Matthew. "So I went and I started to go give her a hug," Debbie told "Primetime." "And that's when she pushed me in the car."
As they sped away from her house, Debbie said that one of the men told Bianca to tie her up and said he threatened to shoot Bianca if she did not comply. Unbelievably, police say Debbie was kidnap from her own driveway with her mother, Kerstin, right inside. Back home with her other kids, Kerstin had no idea Debbie was not there.

...HumanTrafficking involves abducting and moving the victim against his or her will. Humantrafficking is caused by the dangers of being in a foreign country and poverty. Both of these causes have the same effect: being a victim in humantrafficking. Foreign vacationing or wanting to work in a foreign country is very common, but many people do not know the dangers of it.
Many people every year hope to go on vacation or dream about living on an island in a foreign country, but they do not understand the dangers in it. Foreigners are very easy to spot out, and that’s how traffickers get their hands on unsuspecting women and children. The traffickers stake out and sometimes drug the victims before they abduct them. Some traffickers only abduct women and some only abduct children."Spotters," paid to watch for attractive women on vacation as potential sex slaves could guide them into a bar to be drugged and then out into a waiting car and boat for transportation to mainland or island bordellos.”( Flocco)

HumanTrafficking = Slavery
When the word ‘slavery’ comes to mind today most people think of it as something that was dealt with and halted decades ago. The stories are of a long and tragic historical event that involved the capture, exportation and exploitation of human beings as forced labor with no freedom of movement. Slavery brings to mind the forcible deportation of Africans into the new world, associated with colonization and empirical money making ventures in sugar, coffee, and cotton. Yet, the reality of the situation is that slavery exists today on an even larger scale than it did during the empirical era.
Humantrafficking is one of today's most horrific human rights violations. Traffickers prey on the most vulnerable members of society: people laden with poverty, struggling with disabilities and discrimination. Trafficking in persons refers to the illegal trade or "sale" of human beings for sexual exploitation or forced labor through abduction, the use or threat of force, deception and fraud. Due to globalization it knows no gender, race, age, nor boundaries. (Perkins)
